Chapter 414 Strange Lifeform Reaction
At the North Wind Outpost, after the five bomber pilots somewhat exaggeratedly reported their achievements, they didn't forget to inform their superiors about the sudden "disappearance" of Li Tianran's fleet. However, due to the bizarre and outlandish nature of the event, even their superiors couldn't immediately determine what had happened.
Although the world had changed, granting many creatures incredible abilities, neither the intellect-based nor the god-descent type of evolvers had powers that exceeded the realm of physics.
As for ancient god-type evolvers like Li Tianran, who could manipulate physical laws like "gravity," there might only be one of him in the world.
Therefore, no one would suspect that the fleet's sudden disappearance was due to the power of a single creature. Moreover, for reasons unknown, the West Xinjiang Military Region had not publicized the details of Li Tianran's abilities displayed in their office, so only the top core figures in Yanhuang knew about them.
Under these circumstances, even the pilots' superiors had to agree with their assessment that a giant sea beast king had dragged the warships into the water.
No one thought Li Tianran was worth considering, because the previous battle had proven that Russia's powerful firepower was enough to crush Li Tianran into the deepest mud. So, after receiving the report, the superiors dismissed the matter and began contacting headquarters.
Logically, they should have immediately started their return journey after annihilating the enemy and connecting with Kalaboge. However, they were now unable to leave the North Wind Outpost.
Because they needed to wait for headquarters to transport supplies!
As mentioned before, the North Wind Outpost was a temporary supply point established by Russia outside its border. However, due to the changed international situation after the world's changes, the upper echelons had intended to abandon this supply point because it was too far from the country's territory, so they hadn't sent supplies here for a long time.
The fuel needed for the Tu-160 Blackjack bombers was originally enough for more than ten round trips, but this range assumed normal flight! An hour ago, when they set off from the North Wind Outpost in high-speed dive mode to annihilate Li Tianran's fleet, they increased their speed to nearly Mach 3. With the engines working at such high power, the fuel consumption rate was dozens or even hundreds of times higher than usual!
The fuel that was enough for ten round trips was almost completely consumed in a single trip. When they landed at the North Wind Outpost's temporary airfield, the fuel indicator was less than three percent!
Russia had deployed fewer than two hundred members of the garrison stationed at the North Wind Outpost, but they carried a lot of heavy firepower, including tanks and combat vehicles. However, the most important were the five Tu-160 Blackjack bombers.
Russian President Putin had once boasted: Five Tu-160 Blackjack bombers are enough to wipe out an army division!
Although this statement had the suspicion of bragging, it was enough to show his confidence in his warplanes.
Blackjack bombers of the same weight were even more valuable than gold of the same weight.
Therefore, under these circumstances, it was impossible for the Russian garrison to take Kalaboge and the enriched uranium with only other heavy firepower guarding them, and leave these five priceless fighter jets alone at the North Wind Outpost.
And waiting for the fuel to be transported from within the country would take two hours. These two hours were Li Tianran's last chance to turn defeat into victory.
If Li Tianran could take this opportunity to attack the North Wind Outpost, kill Kalaboge, and take away the enriched uranium, then his trip wouldn't be considered a failure!
But if he failed to attack the North Wind Outpost and was instead discovered and killed by the guards, then he would have deliberately walked into hell and would face a setback even more tragic than a crushing defeat!
…
Inside the temporary barracks at the North Wind Outpost.
Kalaboge's eyes were bloodshot. He had just received news that although the enemy who attacked his fleet had been defeated, his fleet… had been sunk!
None of the soldiers survived!
The warships and freighters had all sunk into the sea!
Those were all his direct troops!
The entire Morpira army was only 100,000 strong, and these three thousand men were almost one-third of the strength of a military region. Now, they were all finished!
Kalaboge couldn't imagine what kind of treatment he would receive after returning to Morpira.
He began to regret it immensely.
He should have let Bai Jingyan handle this mission!
He finally understood that this was not a good job at all. Not only were there "bandits" eyeing them covetously, but Russia also didn't have a good impression of him. Although they had superficially accepted the Morpira's new government's overtures, they may have always wanted to teach this annoying "Sonam regime" a lesson. The carpet bombing by the Tu-160 Blackjack bombers was Russia's hammer striking the Sonam regime!
What angered Kalaboge the most was that the Russians didn't hide the truth from him at all. They very frankly told Kalaboge that many of your soldiers died in the bombing by the Tu-160 Blackjack bombers, but we did it to eliminate external enemies, and you should be able to understand.
This contemptuous attitude was like a human telling an ant, I just crushed your entire family, I hope you don't mind…
"Damn Bai Jingyan…" Kalaboge's eyes were bloodshot, and he gnashed his teeth until they bled.
Yes, the person he hated the most now was not the Russians, but Bai Jingyan.
He had already begun to imagine in his mind that if he could safely return to Morpira, he would do whatever it took to kill Bai Jingyan!
…
Time passed minute by minute.
Less than thirty minutes remained until the fuel resources were delivered.
And the North Wind Outpost was still calm.
The Russian guards stood near the camp. Suddenly, a noisy sound came from their walkie-talkies. It was the commander's voice.
"Radar has detected an unidentified lifeform reaction in the northern area. The reaction is very strong. Go check it out immediately!"
"The northern area is by the sea. It might be a mutated beast. Be careful!"
After hearing the order, dozens of guards flew by helicopter to the target area. Soon, they saw a huge creature wriggling in the target area. It was an octopus beast king, but its whole body was covered in wounds, and several thick tentacles were broken off. It looked extremely miserable.
It was moving from the sea towards the land, moving very slowly, and behind it, a huge shark was chasing after it, biting its body and tearing it apart madly!
"This… these are two beast kings!" Soon, the pilot of the helicopter roared.
The mutual slaughter between two beast kings was a rare sight. At this time, the octopus beast king broke free from the shark, desperately crawled ashore, and headed towards the camp in the distance.
"Capture them!" Almost instantly, the guards on this helicopter unanimously made a decision.
